Blu-Ray ripper?

Ok I am new here, so there may be an answer to this already, but I just want to make it a little more specific to make sure my question is answered. My family just got a Blu-Ray player not that long ago. That being the case, we have started renting/buying movies in Blu-Ray instead of DVD. I would still like to be able to rip them for my iPod. The computer I will be using is an iMac that is 2 or 3 years old and it runs Mac OS X Tiger. Is there a program that can rip Blu-Ray discs to iPod format that does not require a new drive for Blu-Ray discs?

OS X can't play Blu-ray movies and can't write to Blu-ray disks by default. There are no programs for OS X to remove HDCP from movies, so you would have to boot in to Windows on your Mac and use AnyDVD HD to do Blu-ray rips.

Oh, and you KIND OF need a new drive. It's an entirely different laser format. Blue lasers... get an external drive for cheap.

The simple answer is no.
You're iMac cannot read Blu-Ray so you will need an external Blu-Ray drive. And I do not know of any programs that can rip Blu-Ray discs for the Mac anyway. When Steve Jobs referred to Blu-Ray as a "bag of hurt" he was right because removing the copy protection and then compressing 25GB is going to be hard to do and take forever.

The first one:
You can take Tallest Skill's suggestion to consideration, which is right. At first, make sure you have an external blu-ray drive, then run Boot Camp to decrypt blu-ray disc movies with AnyDVD.

The second one:
With the development of technology, there are some Blu-ray Ripper for Mac programs. So you can rip your blu-ray discs directly on Mac.

If the information I give above is some kind of wrong, I will change it tomorrow.

if so, I am afraid maybe there are a few bluray ripper mac programs can rip bluray discs such as Avater.
AnyDVD HD? MakeMKV? Pavtube Blu-Ray Ripper for Mac? DVDFab?
Which is the best and can really support bluray disc movies with MKB V17 support?

From Pavtube's official website I learnt that Pavtube Bluray Ripper Mac had support Avater for a long time:

Creates Spellblinding iPhone 4 videos
I used Blu-Ray Ripper to convert Avatar to the new iPhone 4 at 720P and the picture quality is spellbinding. Everyone that has seen it says "Good God". One other thing, I have the Samsung SP-H03 micro projector. It runs the Avatar iPhone4 movies in 720P from a microSD card in the unit and that is pure eye candy. I tell you this so you know that you can master movies for this unit and use the iPhone 4 format.

I've never had any luck with Pavtube - it crashes or freezes or just won't open most of the discs that I have. I'm sticking with Make MKV. It ripped Avatar just fine once the keys were decrypted (which was many months ago now).
